Other Holiday Shopping Ideas
I wanted to add a little more to my previous post about saving money this holiday season by shopping at stores going out of business.
When I talked with Darla Murker, executive director of the Silverdale Chamber of Commerce, last week about her take on stores going out of business, she said many businesses are having to change the way they bring in customers. In some cases businesses are cutting back on their advertising dollars this year to save money.
In other cases businesses are trying to market themselves differently by offering discounts to shoppers who bring in canned food or other non-perishables for area food banks. Realizing times are hard for everyone, the stores are asking local shoppers to help their neighbors by donating food when they come in to shop.
So this year, in addition to looking for great deals, look for the local businesses supporting the community by way of food or toy drives and consider supporting their efforts.
